(28) Closing of the Patent and Trademark Office on
Wednesday, April 27, 1994
In view of the fact that Federal government offices in the Washington,
D.C. metropolitan area, including the Patent and Trademark Office, were
officially closed on April 27, 1994, the day proclaimed by President Clinton
as a National Day of Mourning, the Patent and Trademark Office will consider
April 27, 1994 a "holiday within the District of Columbia" under 35 U.S.C.
21. Any action or fee due that day will be considered as timely for the
purposes of e.g., 35 U.S.C. 119, 133 and 151, if the action is taken, or fee
paid, on April 28, 1994.

Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks
